[Elecraft] Elecraft Digest, Vol 158, Issue 14

[Pentti A J Pajunen]

Hi Ya OTs & other CW improvers. No absolute truth in learnig the Morse 
(rather Veil) code.

1. Rag chewing with highest speed you can read in your head
2. Take a buzzer (may be your rig monitoring, not transmitting), some 
journal and start sending the code as fast U can

Sending the code is as good as anything else "schooling" Ur brain. 
K-radios have exellent keyers and sending monitors for practising.

I love HAM radio and Competition dancing (with my XYL). The more I can 
practise the more I can reach in CW and the more I can "see" as an 
adjudicator in dancing competitions. Both hobbies are the best U can do 
fully clothed - in publick.

73 & CU, don't give up!
